Today is “Brother’s Day” so I’m taking this opportunity to wish a Happy “Brother’s Day” To The Bestest Brother!
I’ve written about growing up with my brother here, and some of the fun times we had later in life here, and here, and here, and here.
To celebrate Brother’s Day 2025 I put together a couple of photo collages of Mark through the years.
Let’s take a stroll down memory lane, shall we?

I know that trip down memory lane was more fun for me than you, dear reader, but it just made me more thankful for the bestest brother that I have.
Happy “Brother’s Day” to the Bestest Brother!
